MaestroReviews

Deb and I are artists, painters actually. We go see films as often as once a week. That's right, we go to the theater and sit in a dark room with strangers to see movies. We rarely rent. We like "little" movies, foreign and documentary films. We try to stay away from mainstream and blockbusters whenever possible, but a couple sneak in each year. We seek out the obscure. We try to avoid violent movies, and that really limits our choices, most film makers seem to think violence makes a story interesting.
I try not to give anything away in the reviews, but offer an honest reaction.
We rate them 1~10, 10 being highest.

Tiny Furniture

Deb 0 Me 2

This movie had promise, and then it started. Now I can’t blame the movie for this, but it was presented in the worst fashion ever. First off, it wasn’t a movie, it was a DVD projected onto the screen. To make matters worse they couldn’t get the aspect ratio correct so it was squeezed into a 4X3 format, making everyone very tall and skinny. I hate that. But it wasn’t the fault of the movie and I’m not counting that against it.

The movie seemed to be about disaffected youth, people with no goals or ambition, no direction, no skills (social or professional) who just hang around, let things happen to them and complain. The central girl in this movie did have the ability to manipulate her mother, but didn’t bother to use this skill outside the home.

If the point of the movie is to make you associate with boredom of these peoples lives, then they did a very good job. I just don’t go to the movies to get bored.
